Facing 2 misdemeanor charges - Under the Influence & Domestic Violence

I was looking at 2 charges: Under the influence of a controlled substance & Domestic Violence (ex). Both were misdemeanor charges and this was the biggest trouble I've ever been in with the law - I was really scared about how this would end... Bottom line, Both charges were dismissed completely. I... had to attend some classes and that was it! In fact, I even missed my court dates and had a warrant out for my arrest which David was able to help me with. Awesome lawyer! I went into this thinking that it'd be great if I could somehow just face only one misdemeanor at least. Nope... I couldn't have asked for anything better. I mean, I got all my charges DISMISSED and didn't have to pay a bunch of court fees either. In fact, the most expensive thing wasn't the court fees - it was the attorney fee. And that was only 50% of what a few other lawyers were asking for. It helped so much that he was familiar with the court and the judge. In fact, I referred him to a couple people who didn't have a lawyer at the time and I'd do it again. He treated me respectfully and didn't make me feel ashamed or like a loser - his attitude was professional and optimistic but at the same time he didn't overly promise. Honestly, I have no idea why that person would leave a 1 star review. Warren

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. David J. Salvin is among the hardest working, diligent and effective attorneys I know. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him frequently since 1996 and I continue to value his counsel in a variety of areas. One of the hallmarks of a truly great attorney is the relationships that one has with opposing counsel after a case has settled or reached a verdict. And I know that Mr. Salvin has enjoyed numerous referrals and friendships in the aftermath of hard fought litigation in both the criminal and civil courts throughout Orange County, California."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
